摘要
Mastering the spatial distribution of soil heavy metal content and evaluating the pollution status of soil heavy metals is of great significance for ensuring agricultural production and protecting human health. This study used a machine learning model to study the spatial distribution of soil heavy metal content in a coastal city in eastern China. Having obtained six soil heavy metal contents, including Cr, Cd, Pb, As, Hg, and Ni, environmental variables such as precipitation, soil moisture, and population density were selected. Random forest (RF) was used to model the spatial distribution of soil heavy metal content. The research findings indicate that the RF model demonstrates a robust predictive capability in discerning the spatial distribution of soil heavy metals, and environmental factor variables can explain 60%, 52.3%, 53.5%, 63.1%, 61.2%, and 51.2% of the heavy metal content of Cr, Cd, Pb, As, Hg, and Ni in soil, respectively. Among the chosen environmental variables, precipitation and population density exert notable influences on the predictive outcomes of the model. Specifically, precipitation exhibits the most substantial impact on Cr and Ni, whereas population density emerges as the primary determinant for Cd, Pb, As, and Hg. The RF prediction results show that Cr and Ni in the study area are less affected by human activities, while Cd, Pb, As, and Hg are more affected by human industrial and agricultural production. Research has shown that using RF models for predicting soil heavy metal distributions has certain significance.
